Your name please?
William Easter.
Mr. William Easter?
Right.
Your passport please.
Do I have to go through this rigmarole every time?
Regulations sir.
Beastly nuisance I call it.
You'll receive your American Visa in Lisabon.
Will there be time?
Definitely.
We've seemed to cut our time
pretty close Sir Henry.
Have you a word Sir Henry?
Do you wish to make any comments?
Sir Henry, what is your destination
New York or Washington?
I'm sorry, I have nothing to say.
Sir Henry Marchmont official business.
Oh Sir Henry Marchmont.
Sir Henry.
Thank You.
Good luck Sir Henry.
Thanks, I may need it.
Shall I take your case sir?
Definitely not.
I say, you think the old boy carried
the fate of the empire in that little black case.
Perhaps he does.
Heads up boys.
Roll it away.
Lively now.
Hey just a moment,
you are shy one passenger.
Hold on.
Wait a bit.
Wait I say.
I've got passage.
Yes.
Your name sir?
Grayson's the name, John Grayson,
senior clerk Farlow Nash and Farlow,
solicitor of Chancery Lane.
You've got it all there.
Everything quite regular.
Sorry to delay you,
missed the bus had to take a taxi,
dreadful nuisance.
Yes.
Hop aboard will you, we're late now.
Thanks.
Thanks awfully.
Sorry to delay.
I'm awfully sorry.
It's quite all right.
I've no sense of balance, none whatever.
Thanks.
clumsy of me.
No sense of balance.
That's what it is.
The effects of the inner ear I fancy.
And when I read
that you were in route to Washington, Sir Henry,
I just couldn't rest until I found you.
Now dear, when can you dine with us?
Very kind Mrs. Jellison I'll put you first
on my unofficial list.
Oh I have a much better idea.
You must let me put you up during your stay.
Thanks very much but...
Washington is so crowded.
I'll put you in the blue room.
Come in.
Thank you sir.
But if Sir Henry isn't the one who is?
I don't know.
But Sir Henry received a cable from London
tipping him off.
It's up to us to find the real British agent
before this train reaches Washington.
Yeah.
Whoever's got the document
will be protected there.
If Sir Henry isn't carrying it...
I've got it.
Besides Sir Henry and myself
only one man's come all the way from London.
A chap called Grayson,
John Grayson.
Well then Grayson's are man.
Grayson's carrying the document
while Sir Henry's being used as a decoy.
It's so old it's new.
When Grayson leaves the club car
and goes to get his luggage
that's our cue.
We know what to do.
Good.
That's Grayson standing at the bar,
the little fellow.
Excuse me sir.
Don't give it thought brother.
I'm in politics, I'm used to hard knocks.
I'm Henry Babcock, Senator Babcock.
How do you do?
John Grayson.
Sit down Grayson.
Have a glass of grape juice
from my home state.
Used to know a man named Grayson,
mighty fine man.
He was murdered.
Two grapes George.
This book has got me all confused.
I do wish you'd set me straight
on the international situation.
Rather large order I'm afraid.
Oh you're so right, Sir Henry.
One must take the broader view I always say.
